After replacing the CPU fan+heatsink of my AMD 1.1GHz system, my PC
doesn't start anymore. I restared using safe mode and found that it
hangs after loading the giveio.sys driver. At first I thought i've
messed up the CPU chip during the installation, so i bought a new
1.33GHz AMD chip (US$ 50) and hope this could safe my system! Too bad
that this doesn't solve the problem at all. Then I unplugged all
boards and hard disks (except c drive) and try again, that doesn't
help also. After that I tried to backup by whole C drive to DVDs using
Ghost. Strangely, this works without any problem!!!
Do you think this is a h/w or s/w problem. The CPU is the only thing
that I've touched and i already have replace that. I've also tried to
remove all peripherals that is not necessary for boot up. The last
thing that i can think of is the VGA card and I've already try an old
card also.
I don't think i can mess up my winxp installation by replacing my CPU
heatsink! Right? Any ideas?
